Answer:

The answer is false uniqueness effect.

Explanation:

In this type of cognitive bias, people tend to view their qualities as unique. The effect is more visible when asked about imaginary situations. An example would be telling someone: "16 out of 20 people woudln't help a person having a seizure. What would you do?". They will possibly answer that they are different, and would immediately help.

It's interesting to notice that the false uniqueness effect is the opposite to the false consensus effect, in which people believe the majority of others share his/her ideas and opinions.

Why are fossil fuels used so much today?
kirill [66]

Answer:

Fossil fuels, including coal, oil and natural gas, are currently the world's primary energy source. Formed from organic material over the course of millions of years, fossil fuels have fueled U.S. and global economic development over the past century. Yet fossil fuels are finite resources and they can also irreparably harm the environment. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the burning of fossil fuels was responsible for 76 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions in 2016. These gases contribute to the greenhouse effect and could lead to potentially catastrophic changes in the Earth’s climate. Technologies such as Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) may help reduce the greenhouse gas emissions generated by fossil fuels, and nuclear energy can be a zero-carbon alternative for electricity generation. But other, more sustainable and less risky solutions exist: energy efficiency and renewable energy.
